A Collection of Stories with a Dominant Male Lead

World One: The pursuer is a street punk, a classic deadbeat student and school bully. He usually goofs off, skips class, gets into fights, and hangs out at bars. There's nothing he hasn't done. But he has a secret crush he doesn't dare confess: the aloof top student in his class. He's been in love with the other boy for a long time, but he's painfully insecure. He's just a punk, so how could he ever deserve someone with such a bright future? He never dares to say he likes him. He only protects him silently from afar, like a dragon guarding its treasure. He's content, thinking that's enough. But he has no idea that the cool, self-contained top student has followed him home more than once; or crouched beside the recycling station downstairs, searching through the old clothes he'd just donated, still carrying traces of his scent. With trembling hands, he buries his face deep in the crumpled fabric and draws in a deep breath... His eyes filled with obsession. World Two: The pursuer is an utterly ordinary office worker, yet he boldly harbors a secret crush on his direct supervisor, an unattainable beauty high on a mountain peak. His supervisor has a fiance whose background and social standing are a perfect match for his. The pursuer feels inferior and can only bury his feelings deep inside, silently working hard every day. He thought he would witness his supervisor's happiness, but one day he received devastating news: the other man had met with an accident and died on the spot. The pursuer was shaken to his core, overcome by regret and pain. He blamed himself for being too cowardly to confess before the other man died, and now he was left with nothing but regret. He muddled through life, but gradually began to notice that things around him were getting strange. A dent appearing out of nowhere in the sofa cushion, sleep paralysis in the middle of the night, and those unspeakable dreams that dragged him down into a swamp of sinking, drowning desire... It seemed the other man had come to his side in another form, imprisoning him in his own cage. Other world: The neighbor next door +++++++++++++++Other worlds are undecided for now. I'll add more when I think of them. A pursuer secretly in love with the target of his affection * a target who seems cool and aloof but is actually an obsessive, perverted, possessive, extreme stalker. He's not a weak, helpless target. One-on-one, happy ending. A mildly spooky anthology, but the leads in every world are the same couple, and they have no memories of the other worlds. Why only mildly spooky? Because the target really is an obsessive freak (. A self-indulgent story written because the author wanted to. It's a sweet romance! Blurb screenshotted on 2023.04.15 Theme: Believe in love
